Hi Roberto and other experts!
Thanks for your help, Roberto. Although the instructions and a link you sent refer to the bpc_75_ms version, they guided me towards checking bpc_10_ms help, which is the one we are facing problems with right now.
Basically I'd like to rephrase my problem, and provide you guys with more details - I think this is a real question for experts!
- in bpc_10_nw and bpc_75_nw there was a way to see all steps and their status for a single bpf instance. So, for example, in a typical Planning Application there would be one single annual instance of a BPF Template which would cover all cost centers. Cost center owners would be notified by this single instance to enter the system and inform budget planning data for their cost centers and for a given year. BPF administrator (the Controller, for example) could check in one single screen which cost center onwer had or not finished each step of the BPF instance. This was a great solution and customers loved to gain control and status info over their planning process in a single screen.
- in bpc_10_ms, it seems to me that:
1) BPF instances are created by final users (for example, cost center owners), not by an administrator, as it is the case in bpc_10_nw version;
2) every time a user "opens" a process for a certaing cost center in the web admin, a new BPF instance is created for that cost center;
3) existing reports allow me to see at a glance the status of each step of a selected instance, but since every cost center is represented by a new BPF instance, there's no report that allows me to see at a glance the status of each cost center for all cost centers. Users seem to have to access the BPF Process Overview report in Audit area, and click each instance to see steps status - what obvisously is a cumbersome task (prints available bellow).
I'm really expecting we (me and my team) are missing something here - so would really appreciate if you experts could state whether the reasoning above is correct.
Is this a diferences between NW and MS versions of SAP BPC 10?
